Default Cracked tail light cover advice

Hi everyone! My wife reversed into our garbage bin and cracked the rear left tail light - it looks like an external cover was broken and so internal sections (indicator, Brake) are all still fully sealed . Do I need to cover the break with tape? I don’t think it needs it as it all looks complement sealed - aside from this external cover .
Cheers!

Crack appears to only be external cover - do I need to “tape this up” until I can get it repaired?

I would suggest salvage yards as source and replace it soon, before moisture causes problems.

Sprinkle baking soda into the crack and use superglue 502 to fill the cracks before dust and moisture
damage your light!!! Do it with care and a bit tedious patience! Good luck bro!!!

Try eBay for a used light.
